The Captive's Song

by Charles White

Overview

Angelique had no desire to travel to Canada. It was, after all, 1703, and she was well past the age when journeying to some far-off, pitiless, frozen land inhabited by naked savages who ate their neighbors might be considered enjoyable.
This 10,000 word story follows the adventures of Angelique Leclerc, merchant’s daughter, forced across the sea to New France, taken prisoner by a British privateer, held in bondage in Marblehead, MA, until she escapes to Deerfield, just in time for the big raid from Canada led by Hertel de Rouville. At last, if not entirely eager to arrive, she is back on the road to Canada.

Born on a mountaintop in Chicopee Falls, Charlie left home at an early age to play saxophone in the Boston subway system. He played like an angel, but no one stopped to throw pennies. It quickly became evident that there was something more to life, and he scrounged a battered typewriter from a dumpster behind city hall. Slowly and painfully, he pounded out his visions of a half-remembered childhood. Many boxes of saltines were consumed, many beer bottles returned for deposit, but eventually he found a publisher. The rest, as they like to say, is history. Cheap booze and donuts caused his windfall to disappear like water down a drainpipe, and Charlie became a familiar figure among those sleeping on sheets of cardboard outside the Public Library. To this day, however, doctoral candidates often wonder, ‘Whatever happened to that typewriter?
